The Adventures of TinTin

                                                           

To be a good reporter, there are three essential qualities needed in a person. The first is curiosity, the second is wit. And the third is vision.
But in an extremely rare case, a fourth, very potent quality exists in a man.
The thirst for adventure.
This concoction is know to the world as TinTin.

A petite, lanky fellow, seemingly not even out of his teens yet. Moony face with wide round eyes. And the quiff hairstyle.
 He doesn't have a family. Doesn't have a last ( or is it first) name, no past. And above all, he doesn't have an age. There is only a middle class Belgian known simply as Tintin, And a white fox-terrier known as snowy.
     
 Although lacking much flair, Tintin is a hero. He can drive and maneuver practically any vehicle. Including all types of water and air crafts. With his passionate and caring nature, combined with a commonplace being, he becomes instantly familiar to the commoner. A figure one can aspire to be. He speaks English, with a Canadian accent, but his surroundings are all in French and sometimes German.
 'The adventures of Tintin' stays true to its sources, the comic books, in terms of the art and behavioral detail of the characters.

 Captain Archibald haddock is a retired mariner, capable of sailing to any point on the globe while being stone drunk on fire-whiskey (he usually is) And blistering barnacles......   I mean.......hollering unique exclamations. He is tintin's permanent host and friend at marlinspike hall, along with the scientific genius  ans somewhat absent minded professor Calculus. Then, there are also the twin Scotland Yard detectives, Thomson and Thompson who are forever in need of his help on mystery after intriguing mystery.
Throughout the nine and thirty parts of he tri-season series, the creators explore through most of the plots in the books, often merging one into another, for affect. And sometimes, using original art work directly on screen as suitable.

Running from 1991 to 1992, the series did not need much publicity to gain an audience, as a few attempts had been made prior to this one to bring the iconic plus fours wearing sleuth to the screen. This time being far more successfully that any of the earlier.
The entire charm of Tintin lies in its uncomplicated and undefined style. The storytelling is straight, and the art work is sketchy, leaving a lot of space to fill with imagination.
Directed by Stephen Bernasconi and Peter Hudecki, the project was commissioned for production by the Hergé Foundation.
